HELP...when my boss is angry with me (or I think she is angry with me). When my boss talks to me; I just can not listen to her, at times I can't even think, at the worst I can't talk. I have a very important job at a very small facility and I feel that because of my ADHD/anxiety is playing with me!! Let me give you an example, I was waiting to talk to a client at my office. My boss walked by and saw me and asked what I was doing and why....blablablabbblbllblbblbl....I COULD NOT ANSWER...I couldn't remember.
I left work and was half way home when I remembered the reason that I was waiting by my office (not doing anything!!)
Half way home...WTF...it is embarrassing and humiliating.
Please, am I the only only one?
*BTW I do have PTSD and there is much more to the story but just be honest with your response. O and please be nice!!
Thank you,
So sorry that happens to you!!
I experience something similar when my husband and I get into any kind of serious/heated discussion that goes on for more than about 10 minutes.
I’ve gotten to the point (whether it makes him mad or not) to calmly tell him that I didn’t hear the question or can’t remember it (even after he’s JUST SAID IT) so he has to repeat himself.
Super embarrassing.
Lol.
So, the only advice I have is to be honest with the person you’re interacting with. It’s hard though, especially when you think that the honest truth might make them mad!
Good luck!
